Jesse T. Seaver

Creative Campaign Developer, Complete Web Builder,
and Social Impact Writer.

I am from Massachusetts & now live in Sausalito, California (why?). I have been a computer consultant for the past 13 years. I wrote my first newspaper column and built my first website when I was 14. Since then, I have provided tech support to clients worldwide, built and managed teams of up to 10 on comprehensive web development projects, and helped raise a cumulative $5MM for Bay Area start ups. I am a blogger for The Huffington Post and National Geographic. I am also the president of Curry Without Worry, a Bay Area non-profit that serves the food-insecure, and was recetly featured in The New York Times. I am a distance learning student at UMass Amherst, and was recently featured on the schools website.

I want to work with organizations that make a difference in society and in their local communities.

I love to research, and get energy going around new ideas. As they form, I help vizualize and bring them to fruition with graphic design, writing, web development, and social networking.

I quickly come up with conceptual designs in Adobe Fireworks. I like the idea phase, where wireframes are created, and then made into polished designs. After that's complete, I can translate them into valid HTML5/CSS3 and Javascript. While I am stronger in design (UI/UX) than I am in code, I love both. I am getting better every day as I work and train.

I am also a people person. I love getting teams together, brainstorming, and growing ideas. I have built and managed teams of up to 10 and acted as a project manager using Agile Development method tools like Trello or Asana, with GIT or SVN.

I love doing what I do.

Web, & Writing

Huffington Post, & National Geographic

Over past 10 months or so, I have been freelancing on a variety of web development projects as well as taking online classes, writing, and doing some travel. I wrote my first piece for National Geographic after travelling to Nepal for a month in October, assisting at a hospital during an OB/GYN medical clinic. You may view the article here.

I also launched an online portfolio showing some of my recent freelance work with my associate, Stephen Etheredge.

2011-2012

Social Networking Technologies

Project Manager

Built a team of eight and managed the process pipeline for new product development - from concept to specifications to design to code development. While I have a strong set of UX creation skills using the Adobe suite I can also lead other designers and coders to follow functional specifications and did that here. This position gave me extensive experience in content creation, and in user interaction analytics experience to attain strong natural search results, including big data manipulation and integration of over 10 APIs. Helped raise over $3MM in startup capital.

Resigned after one year contract to persue other interests and travels. Still a shareholder and hope they take off soon.

Luxe Commerce

Founding Web Designer, Developer, and CTO

On original founding team of venture-funded startup. I helped secure funding, designed and ran entire site, from UI/UX design to server administration. I developed, designed, and led the web team, as well as overseeing all IT-related decisions for the company. Helped raise $1.3MM seed round.

A true San Francisco SOMA start-up experience. Late nights and early mornings galore, but I'd do it again any day!
